On the Effect of Imperfect Cophasing in MRC and EGC Receivers Over Correlated Weibull Fading

Abstract: This paper presents a comparative analysis of dual-branch maximal-ratio combining (MRC) and equal-gain combining (EGC) receivers with coherent modulations over correlated Weibull fading channels. The numerical and simulations results show the influence of imperfect cophasing, branch unbalancing and correlation on the error performance. It is interestingly shown that EGC has lower irreducible error floor than MRC in the presence of incoherent combining, while the higher value of the correlation coefficient resu… Show more

“…For this reason, a diversity receiver is often used to improve the transmission quality. There are three basic combining concepts available in the literature: maximum ratio combining (MRC) [1], [2], equal-gain combining (EGC) [3][4][5][6][7] or selection combining (SC) [1], [2] technique. In practice, the combining is often realized using the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) [8].…”

“…Diversity technique is a communication receiver technique that provides wireless link improvement at relatively low cost by combating the deleterious effect of channel fading and increasing the communication reliability without enlarging either transmitting power or bandwidth of the channel [1,[6][7][8][9][10][11]. Among the various known diversity combining techniques, selection combining (SC) is perhaps the most frequently used in practice because of its simplicity of realization [1,[6][7][8], [11].…”
